The National Aeronautic Space Administration, NASA, holds an annual student design competition in Huntsville, Alabama called the Great Moonbuggy Race. Students are required to design and build a vehicle that focus on a series of engineering problems similar to those faced by the original Moonbuggy team. The vehicles are raced by two students, one male and one female, around a course including simulated moon terrain. This senior design project includes the complete design of a two passenger, human powered moonbuggy to compete in the 2012 NASA Great Moonbuggy Race. The design includes a frame made of 4130 Chromoly steel tubing. To fit in the specified dimensions, the frame will fold in half at a hinge in the center. Steering will be accomplished by articulation about the center hinge. Riders will sit back-to-back and will power the moonbuggy through basic bicycle components.
